Chapter 144 The Auction Begins
The next day, at 1:30 p.m.
Su Yuan and Geng Qiuyi followed the crowd to the second floor of Tianshu Hotel.
There were uniformed waiters everywhere to greet and guide the guests participating in the auction.
"Hello, gentlemen. This is the atlas of today's auction items."
A clean and handsome male waiter handed Su Yuan and Geng Qiuyi a brochure each.
After Su Yuan and Geng Qiuyi took it, they went directly into the auction venue.
"What a big venue!"
Geng Qiuyi and Su Yuan came in from the door and suddenly felt dark in front of their eyes. Looking around, there were already hundreds of people sitting in the huge venue.
Su Yuan looked around for a while and said slowly: "And most of them are silver level, and there are very few bronze level."
"After all, the admission qualification alone requires 200 centimeters of star stones, which is quite a lot for ordinary bronze-level star card masters..." Geng Qiuyi turned his head and looked at Su Yuan, "Of course, monsters like you are an exception."
Su Yuan shook his head and glanced at his admission tickets.
"No. 244 and No. 245, let's go."
The two of them sat down at the back of the venue.
Geng Qiuyi said, "There is another floor upstairs with several private rooms."
"They should be some well-known VIPs, not like us small minions."
Su Yuan responded casually, and then looked at the venue again.
There were many masters of the Beidou Financial Group with a deep aura around the sidelines responsible for security. All of them were above the silver level, and there were several gold-level masters, and the highest was two Yaoxing-level masters.
Of course, this Tianshu Hotel is one of the important bases of the Beidou Financial Group. There are always masters of the Zhuoyang level sitting there. Ordinary people who want to make trouble will definitely not end well.
As for the customers participating in the auction, many of them are about the same age as Su Yuan and the others, and some are directly wearing the school uniforms of the Magic City Academy.
"In addition to the star card masters in society, there are quite a few college students." Su Yuan said slowly.
"Well, this time the scale is not small. In addition to the Magic City College, students from the surrounding Yuanzhou and Xinzhou have come."
Su Yuan nodded and flipped through the auction item illustrations given by the waiter at the door.
"Sure enough, there is the Phoenix Nirvana Stone!"
Su Yuan's eyes lit up and he saw a large orange-red stone at the back of the illustrations.
The pattern on this booklet was originally projected with star power to perfectly present the auction items.
At this time, the stone had a gradient from bright yellow to red from the inside to the outside, and the flames flowed on the paper, lifelike.
"Well!" Geng Qiuyi was also a little excited, "That's it!"
Su Yuan looked through the other items again, and then he found that the first item and the last three items had no clear content, only a little information.
"Three finale items? A star weapon from the hands of a famous weapon refining master in the Magic City, a star core of a rare star beast, and a blue quality top-level enhanced star card."
Looking at the auction item illustrations in his hand, Su Yuan thought secretly.
Based on these descriptions and values, we can roughly guess the general situation of these three finale items.
First of all, the top-level enhanced star card should be a T1-level blue star card, otherwise it would not be the finale.
However, I already have the Great Sun Burning Body Technique, so I don’t need the enhanced star card.
Secondly, the star weapon must not be a purple epic star weapon, which is too precious and can be put into the high-level field as the finale item.
On the Blue Sea Star, those who refine blue star weapons are called masters, and those who refine epic star weapons are called grandmasters.
Since this star weapon is made by a grandmaster and is not an epic star weapon, it can only be a blue star weapon of excellent quality.
I came here to bid for the Phoenix Nirvana Stone to create a blue star weapon. Even if a better blue star weapon appears, it has nothing to do with me, unless it is a star weapon with space attributes.
"As for the star core of a rare star beast..."
Su Yuan frowned slightly, this is not easy to guess.
In the lower three levels, master star beasts are already very rare.
In addition to the problem of extraction probability, two or three master star cores may not be able to extract a blue star card, which makes blue cards even rarer and more valuable.
So even the value of a gold-level master star core is not much different from that of an ordinary blue star card.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to be the finale.
"How rare are rare star beasts..."
Su Yuan was thinking, and the lights in the venue suddenly changed, gradually focusing on the front of the venue.
"Here they come!" Geng Qiuyi's eyes lit up and whispered.
Su Yuan nodded and looked up at the front stage. A 27-8-year-old classical beauty walked onto the stage in front of the hall.
This woman has an oval face, dignified and generous manners. She wears an elegant and generous white dress. She has a unique temperament and attracted the attention of everyone on the stage as soon as she came on stage.
And more importantly, she did not hide the fluctuation of her star power. She was a master of the initial gold level!
"Good afternoon, everyone. I am Chen Junyan from the Beidou Financial Group, and I am in charge of hosting this auction."
The woman bowed and then introduced:
"There are 48 items in this auction. Some of them are from famous weapon masters, some from hidden sects, some from secret realms that are opened every few years, and some from the northern countries!"
Hearing this, some people have already started to discuss in a low voice.
"There are foreign items. The Beidou Financial Group is really amazing!"
"Well, there were very few foreign items in previous auctions."
...
Chen Junyan introduced the auction content and rules in detail, and finally said with a smile: "If you don't have enough star stones, you can apply to exchange them with our Beidou Financial Group on the spot.
Star cores, star cards, materials, intelligence, antiques... all valuable things are fine. We will have professional personnel to identify and give you a price that will satisfy you.
Okay, I believe everyone is here to see the treasures, not to listen to my nonsense.
I won't say much. Next, please bring the first treasure of this auction... the Golden Phoenix Pecking Jade Knife!"
As soon as Chen Junyan finished speaking, two beautiful waitresses in their early twenties wearing black dresses brought the items up on a silver plate.
It was a short knife carved with gold and jade, about one foot long, with a pattern of a golden phoenix striking the sky on the blade. Even if you look at it from a distance, it makes people feel a little sharp and dazzling.
Chen Junyan took the dagger and looked at everyone on the field and said: "I think many people may think that this dagger is flashy and impractical when they see its super gorgeous appearance, but in fact..."
Chen Junyan took a fist-sized piece of second-level black water steel from the silver plate of another waitress next to her, picked up the dagger and gently cut it, and easily cut the whole piece of black water steel.
"So sharp!"
"Isn't black water steel known for its hardness? How could it be cut in one go?"
"Ordinary blue star tools can never do this!"
...
Everyone at the auction venue was shocked by Chen Junyan's move, and they all looked at the Golden Phoenix dagger in her hand carefully.
Although Chen Junyan is a gold-level, there are also many gold-level masters in the field, and there are several sitting in the front alone.
Chen Junyan did not use star power just now, nor did she exert much force, and the black water steel, which is not low in hardness among the second-level materials, was smoothly cut by the Golden Phoenix dagger like a piece of tofu!
"It's a blue star weapon right at the beginning!"
Su Yuan's eyes condensed slightly. This is definitely a blue star weapon, and it is a very extraordinary blue star weapon!
Geng Qiuyi also looked solemn. Although he thought that the auction might open with a good thing to liven up the atmosphere, he didn't expect it to be such a good thing.
For star card masters, sharpness is definitely one of the most critical basic attributes of weapons!
Even if there are no other characteristics, this point alone is enough to make this Golden Phoenix Jade Blade a top-grade blue star weapon!
Seeing that the discussion was endless, Chen Junyan waited for a moment before smiling and saying, "This Golden Phoenix Jade Blade was made by Liu Chuyun, a former genius weapon refiner of Magic City College and a rising star weapon refiner of our Beidou Consortium.
It is made of lead agarwood gold and broken gold jade as the main materials, and with a little extremely rare golden phoenix blood. It is a blue star weapon that has brought "sharpness" to the extreme. It can cut hair and break gold and jade without any problem!"
Everyone nodded secretly.
"Master Liu Chuyun's work, no wonder, the star weapons he made have always been elegant and gorgeous, and are deeply loved by female star card masters..."
"This Golden Phoenix Jade Blade is not only liked by female star card masters... With such a high sharpness, it is also a top-notch work among blue star weapons. It is worthy of being the runner-up of the last National College Refiner Competition!
"It seems that the Flower Series of Star Weapons launched by Beidou not long ago is also his work. I guess he was waiting for this opportunity today to promote it together. "
……
Su Yuan and Geng Qiuyi were not from the Magic City, so they didn't know much about it.
However, hearing the discussions of the people around them, it was obvious that this weapon refining master named Liu Chuyun was very famous.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Chen Junyan said at the right time: "The starting price of the Golden Phoenix Jade Blade that can break gold and jade is 500 cents, and each increase in price must not be less than 20 cents!"
Such a starting price is higher than that of an ordinary blue star card, which can be said to be very low. Even the worst blue star weapon must be more than a thousand cents!
However, most auctions have very low starting prices, and the resulting prices are much higher than the actual prices.
Of course, this is due to the influence of the bidding atmosphere at the auction.
But more importantly, the things taken out at the auction, no matter what the quality is, are indeed relatively rare items that are relatively rare in normal times.
Otherwise, they would just buy them directly in the mall, and why would they come to the auction to bid with others.
At this time, as soon as Chen Junyan finished speaking, someone immediately made an offer.
"500 cents!"
"600 cents! ”
“800 centimeters!”
…
“1800 centimeters!”
It wasn’t long before the price was pushed up to 1800 centimeters.
1800 centimeters is about the price of a good blue star weapon.
After reaching this price, fewer people bid for the Golden Phoenix Jade Pecking Knife.
Considering the quality of the Golden Phoenix Jade Pecking Knife, it must be more than this price, at least 2200 centimeters is worth it.
However, the Golden Phoenix Jade Pecking Knife is a short knife after all, and there are relatively few people who use short knives among star card masters. After all, an inch shorter is an inch more dangerous, and if you lose your life, you will lose everything.
There are only three people still competing, a black-faced middle-aged man in a black robe, a petite girl, and another middle-aged woman.
The three people looked at the Golden Phoenix Jade Pecking Knife on the stage, and there was a lot of burning in their eyes.
But even though they wanted it, they became more cautious when raising the price.
"1850 centimeters!"
"1900 centimeters!"
"1950 centimeters!"
"2000 centimeters!"
...
Just then, a clear and pleasant voice came from the upstairs box:
"2200 centimeters!"
This person actually raised the price by 200 centimeters!
Suddenly, the three people who had just bid fell silent, and their faces were not very good.
Geng Qiuyi smacked his lips: "People in the Magic City are really rich."
Su Yuan smiled and said: "After all, this is the economic center of Da Yan, and there are certainly many more rich people than our remote demon city."
On the stage, Chen Junyan thought it was almost done, but she didn't expect that a VIP in the box suddenly participated in the bidding and raised the price significantly. She couldn't help but be happy and greeted excitedly:
"VIP No. 2 bids 2200 cents! 2200 cents, are there any other VIPs willing to bid?
The Golden Phoenix Jade Blade can destroy gold and jade. For the Star Card Master who takes the assassin route, it is definitely the best weapon!"
The black-faced middle-aged man and the short girl struggled for a while, and finally gave up the idea.
But the middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and said again: "2300 cents!"
"2500 cents." Box No. 2 almost followed and spoke lightly, as if this little money was nothing in her eyes.
The middle-aged woman looked towards Room 2, sighed, shook her head and stopped bidding.
"2500 cents for the first time,"
"2500 cents for the second time..."
"2500 cents for the third time... Deal!"
Chen Junyan was delighted but also a little regretful. If the middle-aged woman raised the price again, the people in Room 2 might have called again.
Chen Junyan put the Golden Phoenix Jade Knife back on the plate, and the waitress handed it to the guest in Room 2, and then started auctioning the next item again.
"Next, we will continue to auction the second item, a green quality spear with penetrating properties..."
